none of us were elected on a promise to vote "maybe." if the other side wants to vote and give huge tax cuts to mult imillionaires, well, fine, then vote -- vote "yes" for that, if they want. but don't say we won't have any vote one way or the other; we'll vote "maybe." we're supposed to be willing to take the consequences of how we vote. vote "yes" or vote "no." if you want to vote for keeping taxes lower for the middle class, for those who have hourly wages, for those who work hard in our economy, then stand up and vote yes, we want to give them a tax break. if you don't want to give them a tax break, then vote "no." but what is happening, by refusing to vote at all, whether it is in the shal -- the republs in the house of representatives or here in the senate, by refusing to vote at all, what you're doing with your "maybe" vote, you're going to dramatically increase taxes on the middle class. now, -- and then to try to justify that by saying, we wanted to vote "maybe" because we really wanted, in the end run, to protect millionaires.
